I love books recommended on here but unless I specify you mfs will recommend theory. You all read anything captivating without overt political themes?

    “You can win a girl with a poem, but you can’t keep a girl with a poem. Not even a poetry movement.”

    Even your small town library ought to have Baudelaire, which counts as getting started on 2666 since one of his lines (idiosyncratically translated?) is the epigraph for that one. “An oasis of horror in a desert of boredom.” From The Voyage.

      thanks for the rec, i will definitely check his stuff out! unfortunately a search of his name on my library’s online catalogue does not seem to bring up anything relevant (a bunch of series of unfortunate event books and a history book about paris)
